What's the difference between the "Caldwell Lead Sled Plus Recoil Reducing Rifle Rest" and this DFT model other than price?

The dual frame. It lets the shooter slide the forend rest to accommodate different rifle variations. it also allows for rifles with a longer magazines to be used, by allowing the mag to fit between the dual center frame rails.

The DFT has 2 main beams , It is a lot more stabile . The Plus only has one main beam.

No I cannot tell you the dimensions. I sold mine and bought a Caldwell DFT rest that better fits my Sage and holds 50 pounds of lead shot. The Solo does however hold one Standard Caldwell Lead Shot Carrier Bag that holds 25 pounds of shot. A shot bag will absorb more recoil than solid weights that move around.

Hi.... I purchased and have been using the Bog Pod Tripod. This model comes with the "U" shaped rest for your gun just as pictured.....

The Gunsite scout is a 308 rifle might not hold zero due to the recoil, I have a regular optic on my gunsite.

I have both, and they are the same color. However, since the sitka spruce may vary slighltly from piece to piece (tree to tree), i wouldn't be surprised at slight differences in shades of color. This will not affect the sound. Love both of mine; I actually use the "cheaper" one more because i lowered the saddle a little, making the action a bit lower.

Cant tell you the diff. But I can tell you that I have this mounted on my savage 111 xp 7mm. Much better than the two piece mount that came with the rifle.

No,there would be a clearance issue with your magazine,you need the offset style sled/rest from Caldwell for clip fed semi's.

Yes, the block is a separate part. I found the cost of, with or without the high rise block, to be about $5-10 dollars difference from the TRS-25 by itself and bought it. That way I had the option of using the high rise or buy a mid height one (better value for resale). I ended up using a UTG QD mid height mount so I can 100% co-witness on my magpul sites, but thats my preference of site picture.

The SPARC comes with mounts that give you an absolute co-witness (sights and dot lined up all the time) and lower 1/3 co-witness (the sight is placed a little higher so if you pick your head up a bit, the iron sights won't be in the way but you are still able to co-witness and use the irons if you drop your head down a bit). The Strikefire has better battery life and has a larger objective lens. It has an absolute co-witness out of the box but you can buy a mount for a lower 1/3 co-witness for about $30.

I bought a TMS quick detach cam bipod adapter on Amazon from,Treadpro.Low price but functions as well as the Harris for only 22.99.Works good on my DPMS 308 Recon and Harris S-BRM hinged base 6-9 inch bipod.The finish is not as good but saved probably $60.00 .

Yes. That's the exact set up I have. I mounted this and it have a huge difference. Without the pad, the recoil was pretty harsh since the rifle is so light.

You might as well just buy a slip on recoil pad as to waste you time and money on an ill fitting piece of junk. If you do put it on, you'll want to take it off when you are done shooting. The rifle is an inanimate object but is still a piece of history and deserves more respect than to have that ill fitting pos put on it.

Have another look at the sled. there is a bar that runs from the front rifle rest to the rear rifle rest that is above the tray that holds the weights. This bar will interfere with long mags but the weight tray is below the bar and offers not impediment to the rifle..

Gotta file stock where it meets the stock tang. id go ahead an try par arms this isnt any cheaper an its heavyier just my 2 cents. The hinge part makes no sense im pretty darn sure most akms have a rear sight block for the rear sight leaf... is simple kalishnakov knowledge comrad!

It's cheap and flimsy. I gave it away and got a lead sled. It will work, I used a 308 on it as well. It's worth what it cost i guess.

I have both the Harris and the Atlas. The Harris is a good basic bi-pod for bench rest or prone shooting under controlled conditions. In short, the Atlas is extremely heavy duty, rugged, and made of superior materials. I have also had the GG&G; extreme duty bi-pod, which I would rank 2nd after the Atlas. Bottom line, the Atlas and the GG&G; are built to endure military combat duty while the Harris is not. Hope this helped.
